"A very warm very engaging read. . . . The reader falls totally under his spell." —Associated Press The second volume in the multimillion copy bestselling series Millions of readers have delighted in the wonderful storytelling and everyday miracles of James Herriot in the over thirty years since his delightful animal stories were first introduced to the world. Now in a new edition for the first time in a decade All Things Bright and Beautiful is the beloved sequel to Herriot's first collection All Creatures Great and Small and picks up as Herriot now newly married journeys among the remote hillside farms and valley towns of the Yorkshire Dales caring for their inhabitants—both two- and four-legged. Throughout Herriot's deep compassion humor and love of life shine out as we laugh cry and delight in his portraits of his many varied animal patients and their equally varied owners. "Humor realism sensitivity earthiness; animals comic and tragic; and people droll pathetic courageous eccentric—all of whom he views with the same gentle compassion and a lively sense of the sad the ridiculous and the admirable." —Columbus Dispatch
